one of the most novel and to an eminent
degree original forms of drawing trade
that has ever been resorted to-the en-
ployment of notorious ex-bandit to fill
subordinate position. The individual
in question is Frank James, who some
years ago retired from public view, and
who has now decided to pass the re-
mainder of his days in mercantile pur-
suits namely, as a clerk in the before
mentioned shoe concern. Frank James

Hawthorne used to ride up and down

plenty of people who knew him well as
the ex-Surveyor of the Port of Salem,
but who never knew that he had

of the Scarlet Letter. In Samuel
Longfellow's memoirs of his brother
there is an entry from the poets diary
in which he tells how society woman"

Apache Babies.

Leaning against wagons and build
ings are dozens of little baskets with
baby Apaches sucking their fists therein.
The baskets are Of the regular Indian
style, and the poor babies are strapped
and laced into them tight and snug,
nothing showing but the round, chubby
face and two tiny fists.
Some squaWs hang their baskets to
the saddle horn, because if they are
left standing on the ground the dogs
go round and lick the babies faces,

One rather frisky pony, with a baby
on the horn of his saddle, wanders

barking starts him to trot, and with a

place in the line to catch him.
But the pony doesn't want to be
caught, and from a trot turns to run
and away he goes-the basket, Tapping
on his side, only making him run the
harder. No one seems sorry for the
poor baby, whose yells are drowned in
the general burst of laughter that goes
up. Finally the strap that holds the
basket breaks down comes poor baby,
